I am sorry that I do not know your Christian name. I am not aware of the circumstances of your death, but, as a former soldier in the Lincolns myself, doing my National Service in 1950, I am pleased to be given this opportunity to salute you as a brave young soldier who lost his life in the service of his country. I understand that many of the fallen were collected from 20 temporary cemeteries for re-burial in Cologne. Your funeral took place at Cologne Southern Cemetery, where 30 other members of our regiment were buried. I trust that that the Guard of Honour at your funeral service fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Cologne, I also trust that you were commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your parents and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.
Henry Harrison
